5 Ways to Customize a Human Hair Wig

von Emma Jeffery 17. Oktober 2024

Customizing a human hair wig can be a fun and rewarding experience. Whether you're looking to match your natural look or try something entirely new, personalizing your wig can make it truly your own.

This article will show you six easy and creative ways to customize your human hair wig. From choosing the perfect color to adding stylish accessories, these tips will help you achieve a unique and flattering look. Read on to discover how you can transform your wig to reflect your personality and style!

#1 Experiment with the color of your human hair wig

Choosing the right color for your human hair wig is a fantastic opportunity to try a new look. Whether you want to match your natural hair or experiment with something completely different, a new wig lets you explore various styles and shades without commitment.

One of the great advantages of wearing a human hair wig is that you can choose a different color to your natural hair. This means you can enjoy vibrant or subtle shades without the need for dyeing your own hair. By not coloring your natural hair, you help maintain its health and condition, and avoid potential damage from chemical treatments. Plus, you won't have to worry about frequent touch-ups to cover your roots.

You might even want to take advantage of the situation by having several wigs in different colors. This way, you can switch up your look easily, whether you're in the mood to be a soft blonde or a rich brunette. Each color can offer a new style and boost your confidence in different ways.

“I decided I wanted to try a blonde wig out and I absolutely fell in love with it. I had my husband with me at the time and he loved it as well. I'm not a natural blonde, but it looked so good. It looked so real that no one would know that I had dyed my hair and the first time I wore it to a dinner party with friends, they all thought that I had colored my hair.” - Daniel Alain customer, Merritt

#2 Experiment with the length of your human hair wig

Changing the length of your wig can transform your entire look. Whether you want a chic bob or flowing locks, altering the length can help you find a style that suits you perfectly.

A human hair wig also gives you the chance to play with styles and updos that you might not have been able to do with your natural hair. You can experiment with different lengths to see what works best for you, and enjoy the versatility that a wig offers. From elegant updos to trendy short cuts, a wig allows you to be creative with your hair and try out new looks effortlessly.

Getting face-framing pieces cut or removing some density can make your wig look even more natural and flattering. These customizations can highlight your best features and complement your face shape to give you a more personalized and polished appearance.

“I have added some face framing layers to my wig just to open up my face and give it some more shape and frame my face.” - hair replacement specialist and Daniel Alain retail partner, Echo.

#3 Add Bangs or Layers to your human hair wig

Adding bangs or layers to your wig can make a huge difference in how it frames your face and adds volume. Bangs can give your wig a fresh, youthful look, while layers can create movement and fullness.

Bangs are great for framing the face and highlighting your features. Whether you prefer a soft, wispy fringe or bold, blunt bangs, they can completely change your look and add a stylish touch to your wig.

Layers, on the other hand, add dimension and volume. They can make your wig look more natural and full of life. Whether you go for long, flowing layers or short, choppy ones, they can enhance the overall appearance of your wig and give you a more dynamic hairstyle.

"Getting bangs cut into my wig was a game-changer! They frame my face beautifully and give me a fresh, youthful look. I love how easy it is to switch up my style with just a simple change like adding bangs." - Daniel Alain customer, Trish.

#4 Style your human hair wig with heat tools

One of the great advantages of human hair wigs is their versatility in holding various styles using heat tools. Just like your natural hair, you can curl, straighten, or wave your wig to achieve the look you want.

Human hair wigs respond well to heat styling, allowing you to create a wide range of styles. Whether you want to add soft curls for a romantic look, sleek straight hair for a polished appearance, or playful waves for a beachy vibe, heat tools make it easy to switch up your style.

Using curling irons, straighteners, and hot rollers, you can experiment with different looks and change your hairstyle as often as you like. This versatility not only helps you achieve the perfect look for any occasion but also allows you to express your creativity and personal style.

"The ability to use heat tools and create personalized looks allows you to make your wig truly your own. The transformation is always amazing to see." - Echo.

#5 Incorporate accessories into your look

Accessories can take your wig's appearance to the next level and help you match various outfits with ease. From headbands and clips to scarves and hats, there are countless ways to enhance your wig and make it uniquely yours.

Adding accessories is a fun and easy way to change up your look. Headbands can add a pop of color or a touch of elegance, while clips and pins can create interesting styles and hold your wig in place. Scarves can be tied in various ways to add a trendy or bohemian vibe, and hats can provide a chic and stylish touch to your overall look.

Not only do accessories help you personalize your wig, but they also allow you to coordinate with different outfits. Whether you're going for a casual, everyday style or dressing up for a special occasion, the right accessory can tie your whole look together.

How Can I Make My Wig Uniquely Mine?

Customizing your human hair wig opens up a world of possibilities and allows you to create a look that truly reflects your personal style. From choosing the perfect color and adjusting the length to adding bangs or layers, styling with heat tools, and incorporating accessories, each customization brings you closer to achieving a wig that feels uniquely yours.

Don't be afraid to experiment and have fun with your wig. The more you personalize it, the more it will feel like a natural extension of yourself.

Amazing Company

I recently lost my hair in a horse accident, but Daniel Alain was quick to help me out. I bought 3 toppers and I love all of them. They suit me extremely well, and I will forever be grateful. Thank you very much.

Unbelievable Experience

I was new to alternative hair and hit my rock bottom and realized I couldn’t put off a wig any longer. Ashley is absolutely incredible. She’s patient, knowledgeable, and so accommodating. She knew how vulnerable I felt and allowed me to take my time and get a piece I would be happiest with.

I am so grateful for this experience and I’m glad I found follea before being too traumatized elsewhere!

Truly, stop looking and buy the wig.

Dear Jenna,
Thank you so much for sharing your consultation experience with Ashley. It brings us so much joy to know she was able to help you find a piece that is best for you. We strive to help women feel comfortable and confident during there hair journey.

Very helpful

We’ve been seeing a lot of hair loss in our clients due to Covid. Intact has helped to significantly reduce the shed! Our clients love it and so does the salon plumbing!

Fear to FABULOUS!!

Ladies, if you’re asking yourself…”why is this so expensive in comparison to other options?”…don’t and take the plunge. You will know why INSTANTLY when you open it up! This purchase is for YOU to gain your confidence back, to feel pretty and to walk with pride so it’s worth it! We all spend so much on nothing, our kids, stupid things…We are worth investing in ourselves! I’m a first time buyer of a wig and I’m 51 yo. No current cancer or no chemo, just ruined my hair with extensions for many years. I experienced so much denial, fear, and much sadness but…Janet, what an angel…walked me through it, didn’t pressure me and was so incredibly patient with answering all my questions…she made me come to the realization how bad extensions are on your hair and if I’m going to try and see if I can regrow my hair, I need to take the extensions out, allow my head and follicles to breath naturally….all sounds like a good idea right? It was hard for me to realize this and knowing that I’d have to rely solely on a wig now at 51yo! But! As I mentioned above, it is worth it and I feel fabulous! It is so natural looking, it moves with you, it’s comfortable, and not crazy hot! You can style it however you want! I never write reviews but felt this was probably the most important one I could ever write in an effort to help someone else either like me who was afraid of needing a wig, or someone who is simply considering a new one from this company. And most of all, you are never alone through this journey. Janet is reachable and so helpful even after you receive it! I’m on the other side of the country from California and we went on this journey all via zoom and FaceTime! I’d you’re considering this, do it! They also graciously give you 7 days to decide, just keep it intact and no modifications and send it back for your money back or exchange! I didn’t mention that I purchased the “style” model and am extremely happy with it. I’ve only had it a week but wow, I’m me again and in minutes flat, I’m ready to go and look like I stepped out of the salon! If you’ve read this all, I wish you luck and congratulations on getting a new you…a gorgeous you, full of confidence!🤗

amazing customer service

I cant say enough good things about the customer service I received from Janet. I was nervous cause it was my first time ordering from you on top of that I was getting a custom color, not only was the color spot on, but Janet was sooo patient walking me thru the process
I never felt rushed or hurried to make a decision, honestly she was a dream to work with. Now I'm thinking about the next one I'm going to get;)

Dear Kelly,

This is a great wig!

I absolutely love this wig and I wear it with tons of confidence! I purchased my Daniel Alain Follea Style wig on 12/24/20 and it still looks great! I wear wigs regularly due to hair loss and own other good quality wigs but once purchasing this one it has become my favorite wig and I have been wearing it about 5 days a week for over a year and a half. I wash and style it about once a week, use the best hair products available, style it with a T3 curling iron and even had it colored. I admit it is easier to style when on a stand but I have become pretty good at it and have not damaged it one bit, it still looks heathy and so soft. I wear it up, down, braided and even a pony tail, I do have to be a little creative when wearing it up but basically you can do with it whatever you would if it were your own natural hair.
I still love it so much and there is plenty of wear left but I thought it was time for a change and get a new one. When I went on line to look at styles again I realized I never reviewed it and that is why I am reviewing it now. Oh I almost forgot to mention how light and comfortable it is. I have worn it up to 18 hours, slept in it and even wear it on the beach without it feeling hot and sweaty, it really does not feel like you are wearing a wig. If you are on the fence about purchasing a Daniel Alain wig I can tell you it is a very good quality wig and you won't be sorry. Here are a few pics of me styling it and wearing it in different styles, the one of me in blue was last week and about 2 months after coloring it.

Simply the Best

I get so many compliments on this wig. The Cappuccino color is so beautiful! I feel so confident when I wear her. I’ve worn so many of the years and I finally feel like I’ve found the one.

Dear Stacy,

We couldn't be happier to hear how beautiful and confident you feel in your new Follea! It warms our hearts to be apart, and a positive affect during your hair loss journey.

We invite you to join our @Follea community on Instagram, to learn best practices for your new Follea. Thank you so much!

Beautiful wigs and the best customer service!!

Dear, Ruth
Thank you so much for your kind words! We take comfort in knowing you were pleased with the help and assistance you received during this process.
Xoxo, The Daniel Alain Team

Easy Beauty!

My Follea Style (6-11) is in all honesty the most comfortable wig I've ever worn - and I hate anything on my head! This wig just... goes where it's supposed to, no pulling it this way or that, no realizing your doggone wig is crooked.. AFTER you walk in to work. This success is in no small part to the Fit Kit I was sent to make sure of my size. 😊

Also, to say the hair is beautiful gives beauty a bad name. The hair is stunning. (I wear color Latte.) My consultant, Ashley, virtually took my hand to guide me through the process of buying my wig. Her help was and still is invaluable.

My hairdresser is very comfortable styling wigs. She created just the right "style" for my Style. That said, even straight from the box, Follea rocks!

Reading your Follea experience warms our hearts, our goal and mission is to help women all over the world feel beautiful, confident and like their best self. Ashley is an amazing and knowlegable guide, that will continue to be with you on your hair journey!

We invite you to join our @Follea community on Instagram, to learn best practices for your new Follea.

Thank you very much!

Love,

Daniel Alain Team

Wig #6

The ready to wear wig I received from Daniel Alain is beautiful. The packaging was so respectful of the wig. So impressed. I called with questions before purchasing and the staff was very kind and respectful as Loosing my hair was so unexpected and stressful. Thank you for wonderful customer service and a beautiful wig. So many compliments on how it makes me look. Thank you.

We are honored and so glad to hear you had a pleasant experience! Thank you or trusting us to help you during your hair-loss journey.

Follea René

Ive had my follea Rene, 12 inch in the color Vienna, for almost a week and I love it more every day. I feel like a new woman, so confident and beautiful again. This wig has given me a bounce in my step again. It’s so soft, silky, doesn’t matte like my other wigs and feels like it is coming right out of my own head. Cynthia at follea did a virtual visit explaining everything, answering all my questions and sent me samples of wig caps and color swatches to try on. The process was stress free and exciting. Will definitely purchase another follea for sure.

Hi Nikki,

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to write this review for us. We are so glad to know that you are loving our René wig and more importantly, feeling like confident and beautiful again! Please tag us #danielalain in any photos we'd love to share your amazing look on our website and/or social media platforms.

Style 10 Inch Color 5005 Macchiato (comes with a soft rooting)

This is my first wig but not my first attempt with alternative hair. Its been a journey and one I knew I wanted to take with Follea. I was not wrong. The hair is silky soft and beautifully shiny. The staff is great and wonderful to work with. Their online consultation process is just what I needed. I received sample caps to try on to determine which size is the right size for me. I received color swatches as well to make the color selection process was a breeze. It does make a difference to see to the colors in person, dont be afraid to ask for color swatches. To see them against the light or while your home is worth it. All this happened after the online consultation, which was simple and fun. The rep provided samples of everything, explained the differences with each one. This helped me make a decision on what was right for me. Getting the samples of the wig caps and color swatches was a fun part of the experience but it also made me feel good about my decisions. I often worry about getting the wrong size and color. Once I was set ( and yes I changed my mind a bit) we went forward with the order. After I received my wig and cut the lace, the team was still there to help me with any questions I had.

Overall a great online purchasing experience. Once I received my Follea, I instantly knew this was it for me. I loved it and I was confident to wear it out.

Feeling Myself and Happy with a beautiful Follea Style, 10", Irish Cream

There are no words to fully express how grateful I am for finding Follea and meeting Janet. Her kindness combined with a professional, yet so gentle, advice helped me to find my beautiful natural looking European hair. Janet patiently showed me different styles and sizes (my head is so small!). She has never pushed me to anything. Only offered support and help on the way to my decision, and eventually ordered (incredibly urgently) the right size. I wish all patients to meet someone like Janet on their way! Before I found Follea, I faced a few horrible pushy people who wanted to make money of my sensitive, fragile situation of suddenly losing hair.
Today, I can face the Universe with a smile, again. I am back to work and normal life, interacting with people, attending important business meetings. Letting my health recover in calm confident state.
Thank You to Follea and Janet. May the Blessing and Kindness come back to You Multiplied Million Times.
I am already thinking of ordering a second Follea Style (bit longer this time). Every girl needs a special occasion HAIR! I have found mine.

Looooove me some FOLLEA!!!

Girl I love my new wig!!!!!! I feel like Beyoncé wearing it, you can’t even tell that it’s a wig! My confidence is an all new high and I feel fierce. Thanks to Janet for making my hair dreams come true. Xoxoxo

Follea's Petite

Recently, I bought the Petite in Chai Latte blonde with a natural-looking darker root and customized my piece by adding a few wispy bangs. If you are like me and try to stretch the length of time between washes to prevent an itchy scalp and breakage, this little priceless gem is a quick four clips away from a good hair day.

Great Customer Services

Great customer services! Received in a timely manner. Very happy with my topper, especially after I trimmed bangs and length to fix my own hair.
